He then received his medical education at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School in Houston, TX where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, a distinction of top medical students. He continued on to complete an Orthopedic Surgery residency at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore, MD, receiving extensive training at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, one of the first and busiest trauma centers in the country. After residency, he completed an ACGME accredited fellowship in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, also one of the busiest trauma centers in the country. Additionally, Dr. Hovis has numerous journal publications and national-level presentations distinguishing him as an Emerging Leader by the American Orthopedic Association.
Dr. Hovis treats all conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand from simple to complex. He specializes in operative and non-operative treatment of adult and pediatric fractures, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, vascular injuries, and nerve injuries of the hand and upper extremity. He also specializes in operative and non-operative treatment of degenerative conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, brachial plexus injuries, and congenital hand deformities as well as performing arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist and microsurgery. Dr. Hovis believes it is an honor to be involved in the care of his patients, and he makes it a priority that they return to maximum function.
